A Mighty Wind
« on: September 21, 2003, 11:53:00 am »
Any idea how the audience is supposed to react to the folk/fauxk acts?
 What's the protocol/scene at normal folk concerts? (I do rocknroll)
 Any thoughts as to whether the groups tonight expect us to be in on their joke, or is everything method-acting, incl. the crowd?

If you were dumb enough to pay $40 for this show, you should be able to act however you like.

It was actually a lot of fun.  
 
 And Jennifer Coolidge was there.
 
 The actors did a great job, and the crowd loved every minute of it.  And then some.

So you can speak for everybody in the crowd for every minute of the show......Quite impressive.

Actually, I don't think I'd spend $40 for any show, but given the choice of spending it on Mighty Wind, Jewell, or Marlilyn Manson, Might Wind would win by a longshot.
 
 Sorry for my initial snotty comment.

Watch out everybody, when you attend a show at Seth's club, he can speak for you.
 
 How close is it to selling out tonight?

I went to the early show. I thought the show was great. One of the most entertaining shows I have been to in a long time. The crowd was really into the show, I think even the actors were surprised at the audience reaction. They looked a bit shocked when they came out on stage and everyone was screaming. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and yes it was well worth the $40.
 
 Also one of the longest door lines I have ever seen at the 930 Club.

It seems like this show would have been more well suited for a theater?
 
 I wonder if the performers had a preference for playing a rock club?

The performance felt like theater. However I think the performance would be no where near as good in a theater. I just don't think you would get the same atmosphere in a theater. I think the audience reaction in a theater would have been much more subdued, which I think would have made for a much weaker show.

At the early show they didn't do any by themselves, they went off stage and the entire cast came back on for one song and that was it.

Same one song encore for both shows.
